As in all of our overseas trip, we often hunt down churches and cathedrals to look at their complex structural forms which tend to display a higher level of contemporary architectural style and work of accomplished craftsmen.
In Xiamen, we visited China's first church building; now in Beijing, we strive to visit their century old cathedrals named after the North, South, East and the West.
Having visited the East Cathedral when we were at Wangfujing Shopping Streets 4 days ago, locating the North and South Cathedrals today was none easier. It fact, we had a hard time, circling the neighbourhood, missing the right path. We were not keen on the West Cathedral because of its distance from the city centre where we were.
Looking at these photographs, it felt that the effort we made to "be there" was worthwhile ;)
